Haven’t Filed an Income Tax Return?
If you have been procrastinating on filing your 2013 tax return or have other prior year returns that have not been filed, you should consider the consequences. The April 15 due date for the 2013 returns is just around the corner. That is also the last day to file a 2010 return and be able to claim a refund. Taxpayers should file all tax returns that are due, regardless of whether or not full payment can be made with the return. Depending on an individual’s circumstances, a taxpayer filing late may qualify for a payment plan. All payment plans require continued compliance with all filing and payment responsibilities after the plan is approved.

Tax Breaks for Grandparents
More and more individuals who thought their child-rearing days were over are now raising their grandchildren. The U.S. Census Bureau has found that there were 7 million grandparents whose grandchildren younger than 18 were living with them in 2010. Another study found that the number of grandchildren living with their grandparents has increased 50% over the past ten years.
